In today’s economic climate it is easy to make excuses for not being able to save as much as we would like to.
It is however important to set aside money, not only for emergencies, but also for major annual expenses like education, homes, cars, and laterally retirement as well.
Most Financial Advisors and Accountants advise the following:
• Have at least enough in savings to cover three months of rent and expenses.
• If at all possible, set aside at least one-fourth of your income each year for unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, big purchases (for example homes or cars), and retirement.
Although it is not always reasonable to expect that everyone would be able to meet the savings expectations above, the best way to start is to start saving is a little bit at a time. You may want to talk to your accountant about ways you cut costs and earn more off the savings you have. Find more ideas on making the most of your money in the next section.
